This YAML file is the key that drives what preconditions are evaluated, what kind of job is submitted and what post processing steps need to be run.

A PGE config file consists of the following elements:

Runconfig template:
The runconfig section is intended to be used for dynamically generating the runconfig file used when running the NISAR PGEs. Any values set with a "null" should be filled in by the input preprocessor. Otherwise, a precondition evaluation error will be thrown.
Precondition functions to run:
This lists all the precondition evaluation steps that this PGE needs to run prior to running the PGE.
additional information for precondition functions (if required)
For any of the precondition evaluation steps listed in the preconditions area, we specify function arguments.
PGE name:
name of the PGE
Primary input to PGE:
specify primary dataset type that’s input to the PGE
PGE Output file types:
List the extensions that the PGE generates
Files to be downloaded by PGE execution job:
List the groups within the run config that the PGE job will need to localize
Mock metadata (if PGE run is being mocked):
When doing simulated PGE runs, this will mock together a set of metadata for the met.json output.
PGE Output file’s base name (if PGE run is being mocked):
When performing simulated PGE runs, this sets the base name to be used when generating the output products.

Here is an example PGE config:

# preprocessor. Otherwise, a precondition evaluation error will be thrown.
